Dear Peter,
Thanks for the  explanations. There were four inequivalent Fe positions in the 
original structure. Kindly see as attached the original structure. I am a bit 
confused when you said that I should first play with the magnetic structure in 
the first symmetry. What happens to the multiplicity?

Best.

This is the wrong strategy. I expected that it is C-centered.

How many Fe positions do you have in CXZ ?
Try to play with the magnetic configurations in this symmetry first.

Eventually you could give up the C-centering and make the formerly 
centered-atoms antiferromagnetic to the other ones.

Try to visualize the magnetic structures as I told you before. If the 
magnetism is not know from experiment, you have to make "computer 
experiments", but start with the MOST simple possibilities and then 
gradually test more complicated ones.
